Life is good
Pappy:
Josh showed up, I gave him a 30 year old Osage stave and he jumped right in on it with a little help, it has been 15 years since he made a bow and only 2 back then, but he listens good and is pretty handy with tools. I got my Osage out to low brace, this is a tricky one with lots of twists in the limb/knots and some waves in the back, I always run a pop line across the bow from tip to tip while on the tiller stick, it gives me a good look at how it would look at brace and usually first brace is very even. :) On one like this you also have to be sure and look at both sides to get the real picture. ;)

A couple of bows Josh built 15 years ago, 1 yew and one snaky Osage, still shooting. We got the new one down to bow size and ready to floor tiller, he had quite a good day and stayed with it. I got mine out to 30@15, looking pretty good and should come in about what I am looking for 45/50@26.

You are welcome Bob. :) The day is young so you never know but looks to be a very good day today, weather is beautiful and going to pick up a new pup so Sister won't be by herself, it is a mix Red bone /Irish setter , should be an interesting mix ??? ;) she is 10 weeks old and plan on naming her Annie , hope Sister like her ;) :) :) Also Beau and I drew our Elk tags for CO for the Wilderness area we wanted, not the same area we have hunted before but still a wilderness area 80,000 acres that don't allow ATV's or any 4 wheeler's , should be a good area, we will see. Like I said starting out to be a good day. :) Life is Good. :) :)
